weather-cli

A CLI designed to retrieve weather data at a given location. This CLI uses the node runtime and will need to be installed prior to the installation of this application.

Quick Set Up

Installation

This CLI can be installed using the npm package manager

$ npm i -g @brodeous/weather-cli

** Make sure the -g option is passed if you would like the CLI to be accessed from anywhere in the terminal.

Configuration

Next you need to edit the config and add your api keys for the application to retrieve it's data.

First, lets create a config file.

$ getwet config --init

[CONFIG] initialized
    \___ location: <home dir>/.config/getwet/getwet.conf

If you run the following command, you can see there are no api keys saved.

$ getwet config --print

[CONFIG] print

Geolocation > 
Weather API > 

** For full functionality, you will need both keys. If you do not want the ability to use your current location, we will only need the weather_api key.

You will need to go to these two websites and create an account

• ipgeolocation.io
• weatherapi.com

Once the accounts are made, you need to grab the keys

IP Geolocation

Weather API

To then add these keys to the CLI, you will want to run the following command in add them to the appropriate variable.

$ getwet config --edit

[CONFIG] updated

Or if you like to work with the files themselves, you can manually change the variables at $HOME/.config/getwet/getwet.conf

If you run the list command again, you should now see the keys you just set.

$ getwet config --print

[CONFIG] print

Geolocation > <geo key>
Weather API > <weather key>
